Synopsis
A clinician and a pathologist have collaborated to produce this thorough and balanced account of infectious diseases affecting horses. The book evaluates the latest diagnostic aids, including rapid developments in molecular biology, while emphasising that they are no substitute for clinical observation and skills. The majority of equine infectious diseases caused by microbes and parasites are covered - bacterial, viral, protozoan, fungal, ectoparasitic and helminthic. A section on differential diagnosis is then provided to support clinical decision-making, followed by a review of current thinking on the zoonotic aspects of equine infectious diseases, and a guide to clinical pathology to underline its diagnostic importance. Infectious Diseases of the Horse is illustrated throughout by a wealth of clinical and microscopic images, and is of value to all veterinary practitioners, scientists, students, technicians and nurses working with horses.

"This is an excellent review of infectious diseases in horses which occur worldwide. ... The colour plates are stunning and really add to the text. ... The chapters are very easy to follow so that this makes an ideal reference book for veterinary practitioners as well as veterinary students. ... It is a must for all equine practice libraries and it is extremely well referenced so it will be well used in veterinary college libraries. ... I strongly recommend its purchase."
-Graham Duncanson in Veterinary Practice

"a useful overview ... often well illustrated with colour photographs, and these photographs are a real strength of the book."
-Robert M. Christley in Veterinary Record

"The first thing that strikes you as you browse through this book are the amazing colour plates of clinical disease ... extremely useful to the equine clinician, but would also be of great interest as a reference for students, as well as interns and residents in equine medicine and pathology. It is a great source of information, with the same depth of knowledge for each disease and all conveniently located for the user."
